In recent years, one of the most talked-about concepts in the business world has been "quiet quitting," an employee consciously refraining from doing more than what is required. Many employees feel a lack of open communication within the organization. This creates an "invisible silence" within the organization. While managers think everything is fine, a different reality prevails on the ground. Professor of the practice Zeynep Ton emphasized that this situation is directly related to performance: "Companies that don't listen to their employees' voices also lose operational efficiency."

Senior lecturer Otto Scharmer wrote: "Being alive on this planet at this Axial juncture, where we can see the potential for both civilizational collapse and profound civilizational regeneration, and thus being part of a generation that has the opportunity to tip the balance in one direction or another, is perhaps the most meaningful gift anyone could hope for."

"The challenge is if we have a severe crisis and fiscal policy doesn't respond quickly," said senior lecturer Eric Rosengren. "The flexibility that monetary policy provides is hamstrung" if the Fed agrees to limits on the size and composition of the balance sheet and needs permission to act.

Astrological discrimination is especially baffling because it's based not on noticeable physical or cultural traits, but on wholly invisible, imaginary ones. A study by associate professor Jackson Lu and co-authors found that the recent phenomenon of the popularization of Western astrology in China, with its 12 sign-related personality types, led to the emergence of a new prejudice in Chinese society: one against people who have the Virgo sign.
